“Biden\u2019s Edge Evaporates as Trump Seen as Better Suited for Economy, Coronavirus Response.”<\/a> In one day! In one day, we\u2019re asking, “What the hell? Why do they want Biden off the ticket?” Now Brad Parscale, who\u2019s Trump\u2019s campaign guy, has tweeted (summarized), “Folks, what nobody\u2019s telling you is that nobody has seen Biden in two months in person.<\/p>\n“Nobody outside of whoever\u2019s down there the basement with him has actually seen him. He hadn\u2019t had any human contact with people outside the family — and ghosts of the family — in two months,” and Parscale asks, “Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s about time that somebody journalism-wise would want to at least see the guy, maybe ask a question or two?”<\/p>\n
But then the answer to that question is right here. How many of you have heard of a man named Martin Tolchin, T-o-l-c-h-i-n? (He may pronounce it Tolchin. I don\u2019t know. (interruption) I never heard of him until today, either. I never heard of the guy. I had no idea who he was. Victor Davis Hanson sends me an email about this guy.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m saying, “Victor, who is it? Why do I care? I never heard of the guy.”<\/p>\n
He said, “Just read what I sent you.”<\/p>\n
I said, “Why can\u2019t you tell me what you sent? Why do I have to take all the time to read it?”<\/p>\n
“Just read it.”<\/p>\n
So I read it. He\u2019s the cofounder of The Hill. Yeah. He\u2019s a former reporter. He\u2019s a former journalist. He\u2019s a former this or that. “Martin Tolchin, a veteran journalist who worked for the New York Times before departing to help found The Hill…” You know, my question is, “Found The Hill with what?” The New York Times doesn\u2019t pay reporters enough money to go out and found businesses.<\/p>\n
So obviously the guy has a sugar daddy somewhere, but we never hear about the money behind these guys. It\u2019s a minor point. Doesn\u2019t mean anything. “Martin Tolchin, a veteran journalist who worked for the New York Times before departing to help found The Hill, rejected [the call for an official] investigation into Tara Reade\u2019s sexual assault allegation…”<\/p>\n
Oh, this another thing. I\u2019m watching Special Report with Bret Baier the other night, and I guess they have a segment now where they go to Brit Hume for the collected wisdom of the day. “So, Brit, tell us. What did you think?” and the question that Bret Baier asked Brit Hume: “What do you think of the New York Times demanding that the DNC investigate Tara Reade and Biden?”<\/p>\n
Brit Hume said, “Well, it\u2019s the craziest thing I\u2019ve never, ever seen.” I forget exactly what he said, but it caused people all over the internet to say, “Wow, this guy Brit Hume is a genius! He finally has figured out what the New York Times is,” however he categorized them. I mean, the jokes on the internet are that Brit was a little late to the party on the New York Times.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what this Martin Tolchin\u2019s talking about. He\u2019s rejecting any investigation into Tara Reade — or is her name pronounced Tara? I haven\u2019t heard that pronounced. Tara or Tara. So he\u2019s rejecting any investigation into Biden. He said, “I don\u2019t want an investigation,” into Tara Read\u2019s allegation. “I don\u2019t want an investigation … of Biden.”<\/p>\n
(summarized) I don\u2019t want anything happening to Biden. “I want,” said the cofounder of TheHill.com, “a coronation of Joe Biden.” Now, this guy, Tolchin, now works at the Woodrow Wilson Center, the think tank. You know, it\u2019s where a bunch of, I mean, really, really wacko leftists sit around and think and ponder and then write the drivel that occurs to them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He\u2019s a fellow there, and he wrote a letter to the New York Times (laughing) which published it. The New York Times calls for an investigation into the Tara Reade incident (laughing) by the DNC! Not journalism! Journalism can\u2019t do it. Journalism can\u2019t do it. No. The DNC must investigate this — and this guy\u2019s saying, Screw this! “I don\u2019t want an investigation. I want the coronation of Joe Biden.”<\/p>\n
But the point is: By any means necessary, folks. Whatever it takes to end Donald Trump. Whatever it takes. If that means giving Biden a pass and coronating him, if it means screw the #MeToo movement, if it means destroying the U.S. economy — if it means you having no job for the foreseeable future — do it!<\/p>\n
Whatever needs to be done to get rid of Donald Trump. That\u2019s what all of this is. Take your pick of any news story about the virus, about the lockdown, about the shutdown, about keeping it shut down, about not opening up, all of it — I don\u2019t care what it is — is about getting rid of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I kind of got sidetracked by the Biden story. You know, this guy that cofounded The Hill, I mean, he\u2019s nobody. He\u2019s a think tank guy at the Woodrow Wilson Center. But his point is that he\u2019s typical of the left.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t want to investigate Biden.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t care about #MeToo.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t care about whatever Biden might have done to some woman way back when. They don\u2019t care about women being mistreated. They don\u2019t care about anything. They care about getting rid of Donald Trump. They care about reversing the election results of 2016 — and, by the way, those are two separate things.<\/p>\n
A lot of people don\u2019t understand this.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-Joe-Biden-Computer-Screen-.jpg\")
They think getting rid of Trump and reversing the election results are one thing. They actually are not. These people cannot believe they lost that election. They can\u2019t believe that Hillary Clinton lost; that she lost it to Trump is an added insult. But reversing the election results are a separate objective, simply because in their minds they are not that incompetent.<\/p>\n
In the real world they couldn\u2019t possibly lose that election. Yet they did. They have to erase it. They have to do something that tells themselves they didn\u2019t lose it; it was taken from them or some outside series of forces conspired against them. The fact that Trump was the guy who won is an added insult to everything. I want to be very clear about this, because this is the first time I am making this point in discussing this.<\/p>\n
Getting rid of Trump and overturning the 2016 election results are actually separate. In terms of the motivation of the American left and the Democrat Party, in terms of understanding why they\u2019ve been doing what they\u2019re doing, they\u2019re two separate things. By getting rid of Trump, they accomplish both.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s more to this than simply getting rid of Trump. It\u2019s a top-tier objective that these people — and I\u2019m talking about the modern-day Democrat Party and left and everybody that makes up that group from elites. The people who think that they\u2019re special, they can\u2019t believe this.<\/p>\n
If they can\u2019t control whether they win or lose an election like that, then they fear that a lot of other things might be up for grabs that are outside of their control. They really thought — and let this be an indication of how out of touch they really are. They really believed — and I\u2019m talking about, again, the media and everybody in the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n
From your governor to your dogcatcher — I don\u2019t care where you find a Democrat — they completely believed that Hillary Clinton was the candidate of candidates. They thought she was unbeatable. They believed all the hype that they created about her. They did not have, and they still do not have… Talk about empathy? They don\u2019t have any.<\/p>\n
They have no idea how the American voter saw Hillary Clinton, the people that voted against her. They have no idea. And, remember, Hillary lost this election in Democrat strongholds in various districts\/precincts in blue states. They simply have no ability to understand how and why they are rejected. They believe that Hillary Clinton was a knockout.<\/p>\n
I mean, look at the polls they produced. They produced polls saying Hillary was gonna win anywhere from six to 12 points. They had her winning in a landslide. Now, the fact that Trump was the opponent added to the fact that Hillary was gonna win. But the Republicans could have nominated anybody, and they would have thought the same thing.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-Hillary.jpg\")
“Hillary Clinton: Unbeatable! Hillary Clinton: Her turn! Hillary Clinton!” Because Hillary Clinton winning meant that all of the transformational work that had begun in the Obama years would continue. Transformation of America into something it wasn\u2019t founded to be. All these people at the FBI and the intelligence community who ran this hoax operation, this silent coup against Trump?<\/p>\n
They would have been rewarded.<\/p>\n
They would have had lifetime career appointments and jobs and what have you. I mean, the entire deep state, bureaucratic apparatus was 1000% invested in Hillary Clinton being elected, and they all thought it was a slam dunk. They never… Well, I can\u2019t say “never,” \u2019cause I think that toward the end of the campaign there were some of them who started to smell and sense reality.<\/p>\n
If you remember watching the coverage on election night 2016, you know, in these times of lockdown and lockup, it might be fun to go back to YouTube and find some of those prime time election night coverages. Watch for the delectable moment on each network when they begin to realize what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
On Fox, it was with Chris Wallace. Chris Wallace was the first to realize and the first to say to all of the other people assembled on the panel, “Hey, you know what? This isn\u2019t shaking down the way we\u2019re talking about it here, gang!” If you look at the coverage, despite what was happening on all the tab maps and all the count maps…<\/p>\n
